crazy love

chapter 8

[Fedrick stood at the end of the hall watching Manuel's every move, the moment he saw Manuel walk towards the balcony he followed him outside. Manuel lean on the wall with wine in his hand and his eyes close. his eyes snap open when he heard the sound of something pouring. he was surprised to see Fedrick in front of him pouring water into his wine, he looks down and saw that his shoes are wet]

FEDRICK: I can see that you are enjoying your time here, how on earth can you be at peace after what you have done? are demons always like these?

MANUEL: HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND [ he said angrily, Fedrick stepped back and look at him]

FEDRICK: what right do you have to get angry with me, what ever I'm doing you deserve it.

MANUEL: how the hell did you get past security?

FEDRICK: what, are you also going to make them lose their job as well?

MANUEL: that's what happens when you don't do your job properly. for them to allow a stalker in here would make them lose their job and I'll make sure they don't get employed anywhere again. low lives like you nee...[Fedrick pour the remaining water on his face]

FEDRICK: YOU DEGUSTHING BASTARD [ he shouted at Manuel who was trying to wipe the water from his face] you are the low life, no, you are worst than that you are a trash, a filthy trash that can not be recycled [Manuel look at him, the anger he saw on Fedrick's face made him uncomfortable] I'm going to make you suffer for doing this.

MANUEL: I did nothing wrong, the reason you lost your job was your fault, the reason I sued the ranch it's because they employed a pathetic person like you and I almost lost my life because of that, so what right do you have to do this?

FEDRICK: YOU KILLED BETTY YOU CRAZY PSYCHO [ he shouted]

MANUEL: what? who the hell is betty?

FEDRICK: my horse, it didn't even hit you, why...[ tears roll down from his eyes, Manuel, was surprised] why did you kill it? It didn't hurt anyone, you killed it just like that, you will regret it [he was about to walk away when Manuel hold his hand and drag him close, they stare at each other]

MANUEL: I did not kill your horse, you got the wrong person. your horse almost hit me and you did not apologies, and you dare to accuse me of killing an animal?

FEDRICK: your assistant was the last person they saw in the stable, the next day my horse was found dead. [ he drag is hand off and step back]

MANUEL: so you thought that was enough proof to accuse me of killing, my assistant was there looking for you so you could apologies, that way we could have avoided all this crazy drama.

FEDRICK: I...I don't believe you. your actions alone is enough proof.

MANUEL: one thing you need to get in that your stupid head is that I don't lie, especially not to people like you. go and investigate the death of your horse again [he was about to walk away then he turn and look at Fedrick] just so you know I will not forgive what you have done so far.[he walks back into the hall MRS Ortiz saw Manuel and walk up him, she look at his clothes]

MRS ORTIZ: what is the meaning of these? you know how important today is I will not tolerate and sort of foolish act from you.

MANUEL: I believe I've done my part as the obedient son, I'm out of here.

MRS Ortiz: where is your father, he is suppose to be here.

MANUEL: it's high time you stop all this pretending that we are a family, you know where he would be by now so why don't you call him. excuse me [ he walks away. outside the hotel Fedrick stood waiting for a taxi when Frank and Axel walk up to him]

FRANK: hey little bro[Fedrick look at them]

FEDRICK: Frank what are you doing here? oh right, your friend's party. are you going home now?

FRANK: yeah, but are you okay? you don't look too good.

FEDRICK: I'm fine, can we go home now?

AXEL: hey Fed, [ Fedrick look at him] wow you've grow so much I could hardly recognize you.

FEDRICK: who are you? [ Axel felt disappointed, he look at Frank with a weak smile on his face]

FRANK: this is Axel my friend, he use to come over before you went to the US, you remember him right? he always brings you toys when ever he come's to the house, you use to call him AA. [ Fedrick nods his head and look at Axel]

FEDRICK: well I don't have a clear picture but I remember you, good to see you again.

AXEL: it's good to see you too [ he smile and was about to hug Fedrick but Fedrick stepped back and look at frank]

FRANK: oh, he doesn't really like physical contact.

AXEL: sorry about that.

FEDRICK: It's fine, let's go home now Frank.[ he hold frank hand and started dragging him to the parking lot then he saw Manuel car driven out of the lot]

FRANK: okay, okay I get it, let's go home[ he look at Axel] hey man I'll call you, lets hang out sometime okay?

AXEL: sure, hope I'll get to see you again Fedrick? [ Fedrick didn't reply as he continue to drag Frank] good night guys.

FRANK: good night [ they got to Frank's car. the driver open the back seat door for them, Frank enter the car but Fedrick walks to the other side of the car he open the door himself and enter the car. Frank laugh] sorry Palo he is just trying to proof that he is not a baby.

PALO: I understand sir[ the driver enter the car and drove them home ]
